The Atlanta Braves may have been shutout of the BBWAA Awards for the 2021 season but they are taking home four 2021 Silver Slugger Awards. Freddie Freeman, Ozzie Albies, Austin Riley and Max Fried were all announced as winners Thursday on MLB Network.
Freeman overcame a slow start to capture his third straight Silver Slugger Award. Albies is a two-time winner while Riley joins Chipper Jones as the only other Braves third baseman to take home the honor.
Fried wins what could possibly be the final Silver Slugger Award ever handed out to a pitcher.
